Plastic surgeons often work with general and orthopaedic surgeons, oncologists and radiotherapists in the removal of major sarcoma tumours. Skin cover, tissue replacement and functional reconstructions may all be required. Similarly in other forms of cancer, such as those affecting the perineum (where combined surgery and radiotherapy treatments can compromise healing), plastic surgeons may well be part of the team involved in perineal and pelvic reconstruction.
